Authorities became suspicious of Cameron when she changed her flight to intoHeathrow via Singapore at the last minute - flying to Munich instead.

She has been charged with attempted transit of cannabis and abetting the international trafficking of cannabis, authorities said.

She could be held for at least four months in a German prison while authorities investigate the origins of the cannabis, sources say.

But the next day the family was alerted to her whereabouts in.

Chief prosecutor Anne Leidingof the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office said: “We can confirm that we are conducting proceedings in this matter.

“The defendant is still in custody.”

A hearing will take place in Munich District Court on 6 August.

The prosecution is refusing to discuss the charges or even give a trial date, citing the ongoing.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting a British woman who is detained in Germany and are in contact with her family and the local authorities.”
